This Day Leaves an Indelible Mark

I want to shout out a big fat THANK YOU to Rick!

Not only is he the primary bring-home-the-bacon man as I try to make a go of retail. He helped when I worked about 100 hours a week in a day job & the store to kick this baby off the ground for its first 6 months; he helped when I decided to quit the day job to do this full time.

After working about 50 hours a week for little pay at a non-profit with a 1.5 hour commute, he works another 20 hours in the store. He does the maintenance, the financial analysis, helps with quality control, traded carpentry in exchange for store help and - when I really corner him - he'll do some networking and marketing - when I just can't get my list done.

Hey, what the hell do I do?

But today like a few other times he is a volunteer. Now in York County, PA where he is urging last minute voters to get their asses to the polls as he did at 7 am in order to be on the road in time. Why, because it is so important this day - Nov. 4th 2008. Change I can feel it!
